Hi there… i need some help with Group Column functions when displaying a table.
It is possible to click on the title of the group and open a popup window, page or post, containing the content of the group?
In the attached image is an example of what I would like to do:
The idea is when I click on the title of each group I can see its content as an item (with the information of each group gathered), either in a popup window, in a post or in a page.
In other words, by clicking on “JIN-0001” we would see each item 'JING YAR 2'; then in “JIN-0002” the items 'JING YAR 3', and so on.
Thank you in advance for your attention and I look forward to hearing from you. Have a nice day!
Sorry to disappoint you, but at this time, we don't have any built-in feature to achieve this.
I think it is a good idea for a future improvement, so you can suggest it for our developers - they will do their best to make a solution in the future.
to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there, and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.
You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;
and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.

If you need a solution for it now, maybe it can be done with a high level of custom work, but I am not sure, to be honest.
Our developers are very busy at the moment, working on some priority tasks and fixing bugs and issues with our plugins, so they won't be having the time for custom work in the near future.
We can recommend reaching out to someone who does custom solutions, such as WP Kraken, but we can't advise on their pricing.
but that is used to hide some columns, and on click of a row - you can load a Pop Up, or Post, or template Page with placeholders, that will load all details only for one row of data,
but that is also to collapse some columns, and then on click of any row, they can be expanded to show more details of that row.

But i realise this is not what your goal is. I think this is a really good idea for future improvements, we will do our best to develop a solution in the future to achieve a template in which all items belonging to a group would be listed independently of the clicked item (line).
As mentioned earlier, maybe it can only be done with a high level of custom work - but i am not sure, to be honest.
Since our devs are not available for custom work, you could only reach out to someone like WP Kraken, they do custom solutions, you can ask them is something like this is possible,

Hi Milos, thank you so much for your quick reply!
So please, let me take this opportunity to ask you another question related to this topic – a possible solution for me in this particular case:
Would it be possible then just to open the total content of a group by clicking on any of the lines of its set?
I mean, a kind of template in which all items belonging to a group would be listed independently of the clicked item (line). Is this possible?
Please enlighten me on this… I can't solve a template where I can list all items belonging to each group.
Once again, thanks a lot for your help!
Hi, Marcius
Sorry for the delay
- Unfortunately, we don't have anything like that at the moment available in the plugin.
The only two ways to have a feature that will allow you to click into a row, and to open more details is
1. Either by using our Master Details add-on,
but that is used to hide some columns, and on click of a row - you can load a Pop Up, or Post, or template Page with placeholders, that will load all details only for one row of data,
but not for the Group like in this case...
-
2. The other feature we have to "expand data" on click, is our Responsiveness feature,
but that is also to collapse some columns, and then on click of any row, they can be expanded to show more details of that row.
